IDE > SATA convertor

[Luke]

No, not the normal one that will allow an IDE drive to be used on a SATA board, but the opposite.
I need to use a SATA drive on a board with only IDE ports.

I can't find anything to do this that doesn't look like the former type which is of no use.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or as you can't post links, at least tell me how to search for the right thing?

Thanks
